How to Make Egg Mcmuffin Light

  1. Toast one English muffin half until lightly golden brown.
  2. Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat with cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 large egg, 1 tablespoon water, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  4. Pour the egg mixture into the preheated skillet. Cook, undisturbed, for about 1-2 minutes, or until the edges are set.
  5. Gently flip the egg and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through but still slightly moist.
  6. Spread 1/2 tablespoon of light butter spread on each half of the toasted English muffin.
  7. Place the cooked egg on one half of the muffin. Top with 1 slice of reduced-fat cheese (approx. 15 calories).
  8. Top with the other half of the English muffin. Let sit for a few seconds to allow the cheese to slightly melt.
  9. Enjoy your healthy and delicious Egg McMuffin Light!
